Hello

I couldn't understand that comment either as Irish passport holders aren't subject to the same rules as non EU passport holders ---unless I'm missing something!   I havent been to an airport for 3years & no plans to right now.

Cheers Elinspain

Good for you!

Travelling has changed a lot in last 3 years.   

Irate frustrated passengers are an unpleasant part of it all...

Are reports of long queues of British travellers at Spanish airports true ? Has anyone witnessed or experienced long delays at any airport when entering or leaving ?

Yes its true... delays at Passport Control especially.

Be aware.   Do not spend most of time far away from Passport Control / Boarding Gate.   

Irate frustrated passengers the unpleasant part...

I wonder how many of those irate frustrated passengers who have to queue for passport control voted for Brexit ?

We arrived yesterday, 3 may, not the least sign of any queues neither in Liverpool Airport nor in Alicante. Problem is hyped up I think.

Reply back here when you LEAVE Alicante Airport or any other EU airport.

Arriving is NOT where the queues are for passport control.

We came back through Alicante last Saturday evening and the biggest queue was at Ryanair check in which took about 20 minutes. Other than that it was just the usual situation with a slight delay at the automated passport gates prior to getting the passports stamped

We landed at Alicante last night. The whole plane went through the same security took us about 5 minutes.

You can add another hour to that when we last went through Luton!
